Wednesday are enjoying a resurgence of late and are unbeaten in three matches for the first time since May. Off the bottom of the table, Danny Röhl’s side will make the trip to a Canaries side with only one win in their last five outings at Carrow Road.

Famewo signed for Wednesday from Norwich in July last year having been their under-23s captain. He made one senior appearance there, coming off the bench in the last moments of a last day defeat at Manchester City in Norwich’s 2019/20 Premier League relegation season before back-to-back loans with Charlton Athletic gave him a footing in senior football.

 

“I really enjoyed my time there,” Famewo said on Norwich. “I wish I could have made more appearances there but I’m looking forward to seeing some old friends there and I know they’re going to be a tough game. They’ve got a good stadium, a good pitch and everything so I’m looking forward to it.

 

“Some of my family is from Norwich and I’m hoping to be able to make them a little bit upset,” Famewo chuckled. “They are Norwich fans but now I’m at Sheffield Wednesday on the other side, you know what I mean?”

Should Famewo be chosen to make his fifth consecutive start for the Owls, the surroundings and those in the stands won’t be the only familiarities. Canaries forward Adam Idah is a friend of the left-sided defender and could line up as a direct opponent.

“I was with Adam when he was in the under-23s and he’s done well for himself which is good,” Famewo said. “I do like to go up against my friends and it’s going to be a good fight. I’m looking forward to it.”
